I cancelled the godaddy account.. you are right - I don't want this data on a shared server. What I would up doing is moving my development server to a friend's house... I already have been backing up frequently to it anyway.. now it is physically separated. I also set it up as a backup mail

If you're to evacuate, do it now. Copy the code and your database to a USB key or your laptop. When you get somewhere that has Internet access, it's a lot simpler than you'd think. Go to aws.amazon.com, setup an account. Create an micro or small EC2 instance running Windows - look for an AMI

In the short term, I'd just make a backup of everything and FTP it somewhere safe, or back it up to Carbonite, or something. Even if it takes you a couple of days to restore it after a catastrophe, it's better than losing everything permanently. In the longer term, I second Billy's suggestion to
